(Clearwisdom.net) Practitioners from the Seattle area studied the Fa and exchanged their experiences and understandings together. They understood that every Falun Dafa practitioner is responsible to eliminate the evil controlling the head of the evil and this is based on a cultivator's compassion. Simultaneously sending forth righteous together with practitioners all over the world, practitioners from Seattle area also increased the frequency and duration of sending forth righteous thoughts. They gathered in Qingxi park in Chinatown to hold a 48-hour sending forth righteous thoughts activity to eliminate the evils starting at 8 P.M. Friday night.

It was cold overnight, but practitioners' determination was not shaken by the chilly wind. They quietly sat on the cement with peace and enormous compassion.

A TV station covered the activity. Practitioners used this chance to explain the significance of sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evils. A practitioner said that some people didn't understand the meaning of sending forth righteous thoughts. They thought that the practitioners hated the people who were controlled by the evil and thus wanted to do something to them in this human world. They are wrong. Falun Dafa teaches us to be good persons according to "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance," which is the righteous, universal principle. But Jiang's regime has rampantly persecuted the practitioners and has tortured hundreds of innocent people to death and jailed thousands of practitioners. On the other hand, to cover their crimes, they fabricated lies and so-called evidence to stir up hatred among the common people against practitioners. Even in such a harsh situation, Falun Dafa practitioners take risks to clarify the truth to people. They endured the beatings and persecutions with great compassion and tolerance. The cultivators only act out of compassion and will not do anything irrationally or violently in the human world.

The practitioners also said, "We are cultivators, and we understand that these evil people who acted brutally are controlled by evil beings in other dimensions. Our practitioners want to use our righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil beings that control them in other dimensions in order to save them. The universe has a principle that good deeds will be rewarded with good while bad deeds will meet retribution at a certain time. Anyone who does bad things will have to suffer retribution. The Buddha's Law is compassionate and sacred. Practitioners all over the world send forth righteous thoughts together to eliminate the evils and wake up the deceived beings, while at the same time, letting the people who are lost in this material world see the greatness and sacredness of Buddha's capabilities."

Late at night when most people were asleep, the practitioners still continued the activitiy with rock-solid determination. This is the first night of a 48-hour sending forth righteous thoughts activity.
